The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the marketing management capabilities of SMEs producing traditional food products, in order to analyse the market orientation of SMEs in the food industry. Following the theoretical approach of Market Orientation, our analysis is based on an assessment of the marketing management process. The methodology refers to a survey developed through a questionnaire published on the web, and a sample of 371 firms based in Belgium, Italy, Spain, the Czech Republic and Hungary was used in the analysis. Cluster analysis was applied to find the different levels of market orientation of the firms. The results revealed a certain lack of appropriate skills in marketing management in the firms of the sample, confirming the evidence found in economic literature concerning SMEs. Nevertheless, cluster analysis outlined a group of firms with good marketing capabilities and market oriented, and these represent a great part of the sample (40%). With regard to the stages of the marketing management process, the most problematic are those of planning and implementation, and control and evaluation, highlighting the difficulties SMEs encounter in carrying out coordinated marketing; which appears to be generally characterised by poor organisational capacity.

Abstract This paper argues that the failed attempt to introduce a mandatory board neutrality rule into EU takeover law was an object lesson that it is difficult to enact rules that are contrary to the corporate law cultures of the majority of the Member States. It provides an account of key factors that prevented enacting a mandatory board neutrality rule in the EU: varying takeover laws and practices; conflicting management and shareholder interests; divide between exhaustive and minimum harmonisation; and varying market orientation models. It argues that as long as there are varied national corporate laws, most EU corporate law rules are bound to remain categorised as optional, unimportant, or avoidable.

The purpose of the work was to assess the concentration of regional and traditional food production in the European Union (EU) with particular emphasis on Poland. The analysis was made on the basis of data from the European DOOR databases, E-BACCHUS, E-SPIRIT DRINKS and IJHARS data. Various categories of regional and traditional products registered in Poland and other EU countries were described and analyzed using the Herfindahhl-Hirschman concentration index. The results obtained showed that the concentration of regional and traditional food production in the EU is high, and the majority of registered geographical indications originate from the Mediterranean, which accounts for almost three quarters of all EU registrations. Poland has a small share in the analyzed market. In regional terms, Poland has a relatively high concentration of production. A clearly higher value was demonstrated for the concentration of producers of these products.

The components of marketing management are systematized and definitions of th econcept of marketing management in the Ukrainian and foreign scientific literature are generalized. The components of marketing management at three levels of the organization a structure represented. The components of the marketing management process are presented: the mission of the enter prise; establishment of marketing objectives; collection, analysis and processing ofi nformation for the purpose of analyzing market opportunities (4C: company, context, client, competitors); identification of strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats enterprise; development of marketing strategy; realization of marketing strategy; periodic monitoring of marketing efforts and making necessary changes; development of strategic marketing programs for specific situations, assessment of marketing performance and staff motivation. Most marketing professionals consider managing a marketing process at three levels of organizational structure: on a corporate, business unit and functional and core activities –analysis, planning, implementation, and control. The process of marketing management is to implement functions, each of which is a set of analytical and appraisal tasks and strategic, tactical planning. When introducing marketing in to the enterprise management system, it is necessary to ensure the creation of marketing services with such functions as, studying markets, determining the market capacity, identifying buyers requirements for the product, ensuring product competitiveness, organizing product promotion on the market, for ming supply chain for high value added products, the processing of by-products and waste products. In order to ensure the high performance of the marketing unit at the enterprise it is expedient to form close relationships with other management departments and orient the management system to meet the needs of consumers in quality, price and other consumer properties. Features of the environment of functioning of domestic producers of poultry meat characterized by a high level of monopolization, increased uncertainty as factors of the internal and external environment of the supply chain, stable dynamics of growth in production volumes are considered. This situation is conditioned by the peculiarity of meat poultry farming, where the peculiarity of the technological process determines the rapid return on invested capital and the high investment attractiveness of the industry, which resulted in the construction of innovative poultry farms, mostly of a vertically integrated type. It was established that the basis for the creation of specialized divisions in the field of marketing were sales and supply departments, which in previous years functioned at these enter prises and performed a wide range of functions, including analytical ones. The basic requirements, which are presented to the structure of management of marketing activity are systematized: flexibility, efficiency, optimality, efficiency, reliability, stability. The structure of management of marketing activities of thee nterpriseis, in the most general form, the subordination of managerial links between objects and management entities, which characterizes the information communications of units that have hierarchical subordination and are endowed with certa in rights and responsibilities. In order to improve the management process of marketing activities of meat poultry enterprises, the flexible orientation of the final results of their activities to the requirements of consumers, approaches to assess the effectiveness of marketing activities areproposed. Effectiveness of the management process of the enterprise should be conducted on the basis of assessment of the factors of market orientation of the highest level of management of the enterprise, market orientation of staff, the establishment of interaction between staff and senior management, the level of openness of the external environment of the management system.The main factors restraining the management of the company in full implementation of the principles of the modern marketing concept are systematized, namely: a narrow unde rstanding of the essence of marketing, monopolization of the market, the lack of qualified specialists in the field of marketing, lack of financing of marketing activities. Key words: marketing management, marketing activity management system, marketing structure, meat poultry enterprises.
